The Tales Merlin Can Tell *BeingEditedSlow*

You're a prince?! - Prince Merlin .1

I'm going to do a Prince Merlin short, well, as short as i can make it. It's going to be a continuation of the last book, so Arthur knows about Merlin's magic and such just with a plot twist, like he is just the protector of the druids, not their king. Then I may do a normal Prince Merlin just because.

And yes Darthon is going to have some stuff from LOTR because I think it fits well with what I have in mind.

*Update: more detail in the side note about Thomas's arm armor and slight change in Thomas's first dialogue and what he's wearing. Also in Merlin and Arthur's banter at the end. Nothing huge changed like a plot point, but it's probably worth a read. Updates have a * at the beginning of the text.

==================================

After Arthur and the other knights found out about Merlin and his gifts, the law against magic was lifted and Merlin was offered to become Court Worlock but he turned it down.

"Why not Merlin? If anyone can take the job it's you!" Arthur said. Right now they were discussing this in Arthurs chambers, for Merlin still had his job to do.

"Look Arthur, you have had to take in a lot of information over the last week, if I were to tell you why not you would probably faint."

From his desk, Arthur downed an offended look, and said, "I am a knight of the round table and the King of Camelot! There is nothing that can make me faint."

Merlin looked up from straightening the duvet and replied, "Ahh we'll see about that, when the times right."

At that moment a knock on the door made both men look towards the doors, but before Arthur could call out to enter Merlin waved his hand and the doors opened. "Sorry to intr... How did the door open if you two are over there?" The servent asked.

"Magic." Was Arthur's explanation.

Merlin then waves at the servent with an amused smile, "Hello!"

While looking a bit shocked at this information, the servent said "Right, uh, there are knights from another kingdom seeking an audience with you, Sire."

Arthur nodded. "Thank you, if it hasn't been done already lead them to the throne room if you may." Arthur ordered.

With a respectful bow the servent said "Yes, Sire."

Though before the servent could leave Merlin called to him saying "Oh Jeff, do you know what Kingdom they are from?"

"Yes, Darthon."

Merlin visibly paled, and with a shaky voice he responded, "Thank you Jeff, you may return to your duties."

Arthur looks over to Merlin as Jeff leaves with a shocked expression, for he has never heard Merlin sound so shaken up before.

"Are you ok Merlin?" Arthur asks while briefly organizing his desk, and stands up.

"What? Yah, of corse I'm ok." Merlin said, trying to sound cheery, but was still slightly pale.

Arthur wasn't buying it, but said "Right... well let's go see what they need."

While in the throne room Arthur turned to Merlin, who was on his right and a little back, and asked, "Are you sure that you're ok?"

"Yes Arthur. Now, I think we have someone else to worry about other then me." Was his responce.

Three men walked up to the thrown. The two men who flanked the middle one wore green painted leather and metal armor with wrist guards that resembled leaves slightly.
